Wrapping a good steak in bacon destroys the steak's flavor. I want nothing more on my steak other than kosher salt and coarsely cracked black pepper corns. Salt goes on half an hour before you grill the steak to get a good crust.
Filet mignon isn't a good steak though. That's why they use it with steak au poive (which I actually love). So you have to use something like a sauce or bacon to add flavor
Im not a fan of fatty meats, which i know adds to the flavor. So i prefer a nice filet medium rare with bacon and a dash of A1 for some vinegar zest. If its cooked right the bacon is what crusts.
After a lot of rain, the Walker canyon ecological reserve in Lake Elsinore has amazing wildflower explosion. Does not happen often, when it does, it is pretty nuts.
In all transparency, I'm in 100% agreement with you. We had guests over last night, and, when asked, they both chose the tenderloin. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
They weren't bacon-wrapped, but turned out better than expected. Black iron skillet to sear well, then tossed in the oven to finish off. Normally, I just season with salt and pepper, but used this rub this time. It was very tasty: 2 TBS kosher salt 2 tsp black pepper 2 TBS granulated garlic gowder 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 TBS granulated onion powder 2 tsp dried rosemary
Alright thats it. Im hiring you as my personal Chef. You will be working along side crand, my personal dessert chef.

There's a pretty significant football game being played in the state of Tennessee this afternoon: UT vs. Bama. We'll be over at my wife's sister's and fam for the game. In the South, college football and grilling/smoking meats rule the day. It's gonna be some type of feast over there - guar-un-teed.
We really enjoyed the Gaslamp Quarter when we were there earlier this year. https://www.gaslamp.org/ The zoo was awesome, as well. Oh, and so was renting bikes on Coronado Island, tooling around, then drinks at the Hotel del Coronado overlooking the Pacific!
Wow, what a fantastic game that was!! Oddly, no smoked meats were involved, but the chili dogs and slaw were off the hook!!
